2/5

This film abandons its initial promising idea and there is no compensatory insight or fun.

1.5/4

Its simplicity hinders absorption, shielding viewers from taking in its vulnerability or lessons to heart.

A film of casual observations from afar, and scenes strung together almost vignette-style, rather than unfolding as a result of toppling domestic dominoes.

2/5

Writer/director Nora Kirkpatrick grasps for mature themes about aging, relationships, and the human condition, but doesn’t develop her characters deeply enough to explore these ideas beyond surface-level dialogue.

A tedious, joke-free downer.

6/10

Every film presents a unique question its audience is supposed to answer, and there's a lingering sense that Kirkpatrick wasn't ever quite able to achieve that deeper resonance.

It is stagy, the dialog is sometimes clunky, the premise sucks, and the resolution is unsatisfying. That said the cast does amazing work with what they have. Especially Daddario.

Despite decent dramatic/comedic performances from everyone, they all struggle to find enough in the script to give meaning to the twists

This has to be one of AD biggest bombs. Her acting is shi@@y and the story line was dull and boring. Once again you see a wide eyed Ad Lost in The headlights look. Save yourself an hr and a half if torture
